Check out what other bloggers and fans are saying about The Oh She Glows Cookbook:

Kirrily writes, “Oh how completely fabulous is this book?! I have never bought a cookbook that is more useful than this one. Other books are hit and miss with me. Some feature a few meals that Id love to make but accessing the ingredients locally is next to impossible. This book, has page after page after page of ‘OMG that would be yummo’ and better still the ingredients are easy to source. From breakfast to dessert this baby delivers. I have already made quite a few of the recipes and am shocked to realise I can actually cook! Worthy of dinner guests! The fact everything in it is so wonderfully nourishing, adds to the bliss. Congratulations on creating the best cookbook Ive seen (and USED) in 40 years. Im on Team ‘Oh She Glows’ and it tickles me pink. Hats off to you m’lady.”

Felicity writes, “So your book arrived this week – much excitement! I flipped through it immediately and loved the photos and presentation of your book so I wanted to congratulate you on that. I’ve made your veggie burgers and enjoyed them (and would’ve loved them if I wasn’t on an elimination diet and could have added all the tasty flavours, spices etc in your recipe) and my (should I add non vegan/non vego) boyfriend loved them! Win for everyone. In fact, for all those out there considering whether to buy it but you’re not sure cos you’re on a selective diet (gluten free, soy free etc) I say – take the plunge and buy it; it’s so special diet friendly! Like I said I’m on an elimination diet which means I can’t eat many things at all but with a few minor changes here and there I was surprised how many things I’m going to be able to make! Thanks Angela for your fab work; great job! x p.s. I’m in Australia – must be exciting to know your book is being shipped out all over the globe!”

Andrea writes, “Oh my goodness. We bought your cookbook a few weeks ago, and it’s quickly become our absolute favorite. Every recipe we’ve made tastes like it came from one of our favorite NYC vegan restaurants. And most are easy-peasy (note the lame vegan joke) to make. You’re awesome!”

Anne writes, “I received your cookbook today (along with a copy for one of my dearest friends) and I LOVE IT! I don’t think it’s too early to say, but I am pretty sure that your cookbook is the most cook-able and delicious vegan cookbook I’ve ever bought (and I got quite a few). And the greatest thing.. I KNOW everything tastes amazing and works.. cause you wouldn’t otherwise not suggest it! This is what set’s you so apart by everyone else. You actually eat what you cook! I am a huge fan of your blog already, but your cookbook will be a everyday go-to from now on, as well as a great gift for all my friends who like to cook! Thanks for being so awesome!!”

Robin writes, “I’ve been cooking from your cookbook constantly recently, with consistent 9.5/10 ratings from my three kids (a rare achievement even once!). I’ve been praising the recipes to anyone who will listen, including my fellow employees at a national Canadian book retailer. My husband couldn’t believe the savory oatmeal and lentil bowl didn’t have cream or cheese in it like risotto! My hands-down favorites are the chocolate smoothie and the salt & vinegar chickpeas. You turned simple ideas into something mind-blowing and delicious! My sincere thanks!”

Cher writes, “I got THE book today, and I have to tell you I am damned impressed. The cover, the size, the layout, the pictures – just everything. You’ve outdone yourself, and you should be VERY proud. And you know what else? Yours is the FIRST cookbook where I can honestly say that I can see myself making every single recipe in it. Most of the time when you buy a cookbook, you only want to try about half of what’s in it. I sat and looked at every single one, and I plan to try every single one. Wonderful job!!!!!”

I just got my cookbook, and quite quickly at that! Just enjoyed one of the exquisite recipes in this treasure chest of a book. Have my sticky note page holders in place for days to come! Thank you so much!

I just turned vegan a few months ago and my family now is a little bit nervous about what to cook during my next stay with them. Your book would be the perfect introduction to vegan cooking: Great recipes that just happen to be vegan, not another book about how to best veganize non-vegan recipes. I really love it. Unfortunately it won’t be published in German before October. However, it will make a great Christmas present. :) Thank you so much.

Hi,
I was just wondering if you absolutely need the cheese in the tex mex casserole in your book? Where I live there isn’t really any nice vegan cheese so I wondered if you could use a bit of extra liquid and nutritional yeast or something instead?
By the way I love your book! Can’t get enough of cooking from it, got bought it as a ‘keep me busy’ present for after a recent surgery and honestly can’t stop using it! I hope you do another one soon!

Angela, I am new to vegan eating but I am constantly keeping a count of protein, fat and carbs, and calories. Could you please Include that information on your blog pictures and cook book. I noticed you did that on a page and I found it to be so helpful. I am striving to be a fit, toned vegan chick. I want to glow also through having a good balance of foods. I will be purchasing your book!

Hi! My daughter and I have a small but growing blog, and tomorrow’s post will be recommending the purchase of your awesome cookbook. I have a lot of food sensitivities and find that your recipes work well for me either as is, or with simple substitutions I can make. If you’d like, you can check it out on July 30 at www.lovelifetea.wordpress.com!

Very recently I have decided to change my diet to vegan. I read a lot on your blog and now I’m very much into your recipes( they are amazing!).

I was wondering what are the ” guide lines” for the life style. For example, I have a colleague who is vegan and he told me he cannot eat marshmallow because of its ingredients. Beside the obvious (no meat, cheese, eggs etc.) are there more No No for vegans? or if you can direct me to a book that you think would help me?

Dear Angela,
I loved your book so much that I had to share a recipe on my blog in French. I hope you do not mind, I of course talked about the source of this amazing Glowing Strawberry Mango Guacamole.
Please find here the link to the article http://lacuisinedeju.com/2015/08/17/glowing-strawberry-mango-guacamole-de-oh-she-glows/

Hi,
I have been reading through some of the recipes in your book and I am confused by the ingredients. You measure most things in cups, with a conversion in mLs (for both wet and dry). In the UK we measure dry foods in grams and liquids in mLs. Is the mL just a typo for dry foods, please can you confirm. Thanks.

Angela! Thank you for this fantastic cookbook- this weekend made 4 new recipes I had not cooked before and did 2 stand by favorites. Also saw your blog referenced in the NY Times!
Can’t wait for your next book- any date when we can ” pre order” ?
Keep up your wonderful work!

I was given your cookbook and am looking through it for something to make. Your suggested cooking times are ridiculous. They are far too short. Prep time for the Festive Kale Salad is 20-25 minutes, but it says “Let Stand For At Least 30 minutes”. This is not the only recipe like it… So much for quick meals.

I just ordered the book and it’s wonderful! However, I’m really struggling and might have to return it- I have a severe nut allergy to all peanuts and tree nuts, and most of the recipes in the book use cashews, peanuts, and others. Is there ANY way you could make a post that describes what substitutions can be made for the recipes that call for nuts? Or a general post about what can be substituted for nuts in different kinds of dishes? I am trying to transfer from vegetarian to vegan, and noticed that this is my greatest challenge.

I made many, many dishes for the 25 guests that I hosted for Thanksgiving this year (accommodating celiac disease, peanut allergies, vegans, etc.) The recipe that received the most compliments was the Festive Kale Salad with Sweet Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette & Pecan Parmesan from your cookbook. (I tripled the recipe and kept some separate to serve without the nut topping, in which, truth be told, I used real parmesan, not nutritional yeast.) Eating the meager leftovers tonight, my husband told me it was the best salad he ever had.

Hi Angela,
When cooking with almonds, or nuts in general, for the recipes in your cookbook, (which is fantastic), do I need to soak them before I use them in your recipes as suggested in the first chapter?
Thanks, Vivi

Thank you for this FANTASTIC book! The recipes are awesome.
I wrote a very detailed review on my blog: http://www.journeytoreallife.com/oh-she-glows-cookbook-review-and-wintery-chia-power-pudding/
I hope you like it (and of course I would be glad if you add the link on your website).

Hi Angela,
My sister Gina got me hooked on your book. I went vegan for the new year and you have made this life decision so enjoyable. The recipes are terrific and I’ve made a few and will make so many more. QUESTION, (Sorry if it is answered in the book). But do you know where I could buy very large bowls for salads for individuals? I was eating these wonderful vegan salads from Chop’t in NYC last year when I worked there and they came in really deep (plastic) bowls and I would reuse them but I am looking for something large like that for home. I make a large salad and then I only have smaller bowls to put it in. I could eat 2-3 smaller salads at a sitting. Thanks and great work you are doing and sharing with others!

Hi Jennifer, I’m so happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the cookbook! :) I tend to use mixing bowls for my salads (I like big salads and I do not lie) so I usually just whip out one of those! They are from Crate and Barrel or Homesense. Hope this helps!

While not vegan myself, I love exploring new plant based recipes. My mom gave me your cookbook as a Christmas gift and it is AMAZING!!!!! Without a doubt my go to cookbook; every recipe I’ve tried from it has been nutritious and delicious. I’ve had many repeats and numerous compliments on dishes I’ve made and shared. For vegan-doubters, this book is proof that you can eat vegan and still have rich flavorful dishes!!

Hi Angela,
I never knew it was this easy to make things taste so good! This is my first attempt at ‘serious cooking’ and it’s completely changing the way I look at food. For someone with a coconut allergy, some of your recipes are a bit of trouble, though. Most of them offer an alternative to coconut oil, but some don’t. Is there a reason why I shouldn’t switch out the coconut oil? Also, I imagine dropping shredded coconut from some recipes might throw off the dry/wet ingredient ratio. Would you suggest anything in particular to replace it with?

Hi there!
I absolutely love this book, but your publisher pulled the version I bought in iBooks and has replaced it with a new one, and I am now being forced to buy it again, is there anyway to retrieve the book I have already purchased?
Super dissapointIng!

I have been wanting to write you for sometime, and just wanted to say thank you. Truly from the bottom of my heart. I found Oh She Glows, while in an patient treatment centre for eating disorders in Vancouver, Canada. I can honestly say that your book helped me rebuild my relationship with eating. I found your honesty and candidness about struggling with an eating disorder very inspiring. The presentation and colours in the photographs of the recipes really helped me see food as both beautiful and creative. I brought the book back to the treatment centre and showed the facilitators and nutritionist, they were incredibly excited. I just wanted you to know that a copy of your book now sits in the treatment centre as inspiration for other people working on rebuilding a healthy relationship with food. I just really wanted to share how much you have helped some people. Keep doing what your doing. – Jessica

Hey Jessica, Your comment brought tears to my eyes! Thank you. I feel truly honoured to be a part of your journey, and also to be so willingly embraced at the treatment centre too. It really means a lot to me! Sending my love to you and everyone there. I wish you all the best with your recovery.

I’ve always been curious about the vegan life style, but I found myself struggling to stay committed because I didn’t know any creative (or tasty) recipes to satisfy my (huge) appetite. I’ve owned a copy of your cookbook for just over seven months now and it was a complete eye-opener. Thanks for sharing your talent and making a real difference!

Angela, your cookbook recipe for Nutty Granola Clusters has absolutely ruined me for store-bought granola. In fact, I can no longer refer to that junk as ‘granola’ – it will from here on out be known as ‘meh-nola’. Your granola is the ONLY granola that I choose to recognize!! My kitchen smelled blissfully like fall last weekend. It got to the point of where I had to go to JoAnn Fabric and indulge in a fall decoration buying frenzy. I have two sweet friends with whom I love to share food goodies and they are lucky I didn’t keep all that granola for myself, although you bet I will next time. AH!!! I’m pretty sure you will never know exactly how amazing you are and how much your fans just adore you. You are a culinary goddess!!!!!!!

P.S. Don’t even get me started on how I ate an entire batch of your one bowl jumbo chocolate chunk cookies in less than 24 hours. 0<– this many regrets.

Thank you for such a wonderfully inspiring recipe book. I recently bought your book for my husband’s birthday, not really sure if he would like my carefully chosen gift. The look on his face when he unwrapped his Oh She Glows! Cookbook was priceless. Needless to say I have had some trouble prising it out of his hands, it is already stained, bookmarked and dogeared with wear – the common signs of a valuable recipe book. =D

Hi again Jody, Just following up on this: It looks like you’ve been successfully subscribed! It may be giving you that error because you’re already all signed up. :) If you don’t receive the next newsletter when it goes out (I usually mention a newsletter has gone out on the blog around the same time), please let us know and we’ll try to figure out what’s going on.

Hello Angela,
I’m searching for a french version of the Cookbook but I can’t find it. There are german and spanish translations but no one for french…
Could you tell me if it will be available one day ?
Thank you very much !

Hey Nicole, I have tested out various Vitamix machines over the years and I have to say I’ve loved most of them. My two favourites would have to be the 5200 and the professional series 750. The professional series 750 is more expensive I think, so if I was to buy a new machine I would probably opt for the 5200, or even a refurbished model. I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy the avocado walnut pear salad…it’s a FAVE of mine!! I haven’t made it in ages.

The only problem with this book is that I have made everything and I need more recipes. Looking forward to more books by Oh She Glows. Recipes are so amazing my meat eating husband appreciates eating healthy vegetable based foods and my teen son switched over to a vegetarian lifestyle with me.

I recently received your cookbooks after much wishing (and hinting) and am so excited to try the recipes. As a Type 1 Diabetic, I need to count my carbs in order to know how much insulin to take for my meal. After some intense googling and searching of your website, I was able to find the nutritional info for your 2nd book, but not for your first (just this comment chain that discusses the possibility). Was nutritional information for OSG loaded somewhere, or only OSG Every Day?

I’m really looking forward to trying these recipes and hope you can help me with this information so I can take care of myself while treating myself with your recipes!

Hey Annie,
Thank you so much for putting my books on your wishlist!! I’m so flattered and grateful for your support. =)
I’m sorry I don’t have the nutritional info for the first book, just the second one as I hired a RD to calculate it for my second book.

Hey Nathalie, oh it’s such a tough question! I get asked this a lot. I don’t think you can go wrong with either collection of recipes. The second book has a very comprehensive pantry section if you are interested in that. I usually say if you are starting out the first book is a good option and then you can always try out the second one later on. Thanks so much for your support, whichever book you choose!

Dear Angela, My sister brought me a copy of your first book about 2 months ago and everything I’ve tried from it has been just yummy! (This evening I made the brownies… with choc. chips instead of walnuts… OMG!!). Anyway, I live in Israel (originally from the US) and am a translator (English to/from Hebrew) and a vegan, and I love to cook. Veganism is quite popular here (and growing) and I would love to explore the possibility of translating your book into Hebrew. There are a couple of original vegan cookbooks in Hebrew but the selection is really meager and your book would be a welcome, fresh and special addition to any vegan kitchen. I’m positive it would fly off the shelves (or the modern, online equivalent). What do you say? I’d love you to consider it (or point me in the direction of the people with the translation rights or whatever…)!
